Features and Benefits

  • Vertical Belt Technology for Bulk Product Elevation
    Engineered specifically for steep and vertical inclines, making it ideal for elevating bulk products such as vegetables, grains, nuts, pet food, pharmaceuticals, and small packages.
  • Sanitary, Open‑Frame, Tool‑less Design
    The conveyor uses an open, continuous TIG‑welded 304 stainless steel frame with a #4 polish, and includes tool‑less removal of idlers and belt supports for fast, thorough cleaning.
  • Staggered Sidewall Belt for Higher Capacity
    The staggered sidewall belt design provides 15% more pocket capacity than traditional sidewall belts, improves product release, and allows individual sidewall repair if damaged.
  • Clean‑Through Sidewall Design
    Sidewalls are engineered to allow water and debris to pass through, improving cleanability while reducing cleaning time and water usage during sanitation cycles.
  • Quick Belt Change in ~20 Minutes
    The open‑frame design allows belt changes in approximately 20 minutes, with loose belt drop‑down and no belt tensioning required, minimizing downtime.
  • Drive Gearmotor Positioned Outside Food Drop Zone
    The gearmotor is mounted on the main column away from the food drop area, reducing contamination risk and improving sanitary performance.
  • FDA‑Approved Belting & Components
    All belting and plastic components in the AquaPruf VBT are FDA‑approved, supporting use in food, pharmaceutical, and chemical sanitary environments.
